Common Knowledge

I may not be perfect,
I may not be tall,
I may be an ashole,
I don't know a great many things,
but, what I do know is that
you're the House of the Rising Sun
to my poor boy, you are
the kryptinite to my Superman,
you give me the power to catch
a thousand arrows in mid flight,
you can also leave me weak and pathetic
by the single bat of an eye lash.

So baby, I'm okay with this and I
hope you are too cause I love you
and nothing can change that!

    This is a great little piece from you. The title is wonderful because it makes the audience think that your poem will be universal when in fact it is beautifully tailored to the relationship you are currently in. I mean I guess the point of it and the amount of heart within each line are universal, but still I love the almost juxtaposition here.

    You start off by stating what everyone else can notice about you from a mere glance and then you dive into all the references and analogies that only a few people will understand. I love how you were able to incorporate your favorite song, my favorite saying, and something so cliche as the Superman line - and all without losing your hold on the audience or making the piece tired, overdone, or cliche.

    Amazing write.

    This is so sweet, and filled with lovely unique metaphors!

    The message is beautiful and I love the tone throughout the poem, really directing to this certain person how much you love them and will be there for them.

    I also love how you admit that you are not perfect, but your love is real. I think in life this is so important to remember, that you can love someone so much, and they will accept who you are and what you are, flaws too, because the love is so strong and powerful.

    Lovely write.
